The Space Game

Hooray, a new Flash-based time waster! A mix of real-time-strategy and tower defense, you mine asteroids and defend against space pirates. If you take a look and decide its boring that’s probably for the best. Take it from me, I bet my house and my cat and now live in a cardboard box with my [...]

Don’t Look Back

Don’t Look Back, a free online game that allegedly tells the story of Orpheus. Except you have a gun and there are spiders and snakes. A walkthrough video will show the impatient the whole game. And no, nothing to do with this. Related posts No related posts.

Jon Stewart and Jim Cramer

In case you haven’t already seen this, an amazing and unedited interview with hedge-fund-manager/stock-show-host Jim Cramer. It’s about 15 minutes long and comes in three parts. The middle bit is where Mr. Stewart really takes Cramer apart. .cc_box a:hover .cc_home{background:url(‘http://www.comedycentral.com/comedycentral/video/assets/syndicated-logo-over.png’) !important;}.cc_links a{color:#b9b9b9;text-decoration:none;}.cc_show a{color:#707070;text-decoration:none;}.cc_title a{color:#868686;text-decoration:none;}.cc_links a:hover{color:#67bee2;text-decoration:underline;} The Daily Show With Jon StewartM – Th 11p / [...]

One assumes that anyone wearing a cross is identifying themselves as a Christian and a believer (at least culturally) or anyone wearing a star of David or any other religious symbol.

Half-Assed

We have many, many songs that describe the major emotions. Love, for instance. There are quite a few love songs out there. But every once in a while you find a song that manages to describe a feeling that has not yet been captured in song form. Billy Dechand’s Half Assed achieves this. Related posts [...]

Pitfall (1962)
